This evening's film was Proud Mary (2018), starring Taraji P. Henson (of Hidden Figures fame) as a hitwoman for a Boston crime family. She kills a bloke who turns out to have a young son in the next room and, feeling guilty for orphaning him, keeps an eye on him and ends up rescuing him from the clutches of a rival crime family a year later. Unfortunately she sparks a war between the two families in doing so, and things degenerate into mayhem, as happens so often in films about crime families. I thought it was good, with her attempts to develop a relationship with the rather feral kid balanced nicely against the gangland violence. Worth a look, should it come your way.
And some more of The West Wing ploughed through. Not long now…
Goodnight allComment

Sunny.
Bright.
Warmish.
Cottons in the WM.
'Tis Saturday all over again again.
Just remembered another of those films from the late 70s, "The Wanderers", which I watched some 30 or so years ago on the recommendation of a colleague and hated every minute of.
That's wot makes horse races.
I may have to watch the original "The Warriors" just to see if it's in any way betterer than the Ultimate Directors Cut.
Wot I should have done is play them both at the same time.

This week's lapse of memory is the pillow slip wot I forgot to put in the wash.***
There's always sommat.
Lunch has been taken, being a tin of Heinz(tm) tomato soup bequeathed to me by Strangelove Mater, BBE 10/2014.
It was nice enough with Morrisons thick cut seeded bread.
This morning's shopping trip yielded another 10" of dvds and got rid of an inch or so.
I was pondering for a while, as I waited for the assistant to punch 0.99 x 2 into the till in the RSPCA shop, quite how thick you had to be not to be able to do that in your head.
It took 4 attempts before we managed to achieve success.
The manageress was not impressed as she has to write on every voided receipt describing wtf went wrong.
Previously I've just paid the random amounts she comes out with as long as they're reasonable.
A nice enough lady, but as dim as a Toc H lamp as Blaster Bates was wont to say.
<hiatus>
*** It was in the washing machine and I hadn't seen it coz it was stuck to the drum at the top.
Clouding over now.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 23 February 2019, 13:37.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
